When I saw this image on Pinterest, I thought that there was a lot of truth to it.
When I am not presenting as a woman and I see another woman who has her act together, I admire her, but I am jealous, too --- jealous that I am not dressed like she is.
High heels always does it for me. In my opinion, if a woman is wearing heels, it is likely that her overall appearance is pulled together.
So whenever I hear the clicking sound of high heels, I look to see where the sound is coming from and I am usually rewarded with the vision of a well-dressed woman. Then I become envious and wish I was in her shoes literally.
I also get crabby when I am in boy mode, but when I present as a woman, I am relaxed, comfortable and generally happy.
So I will admit it: I am a girl!

ReplyDeleteI would add that there are also times when I see a woman wearing something identical or similar to an item in my wardrobe. Years ago I saw a pretty young girl walking through GCT wearing identical beige strappy heels that I had just purchased. Over the weekend my wife and I went to a dinner show and there was a pretty young lady wearing a dress with the identical pattern (red and black print) and material to a dress that I have. Hers had no sleeves while mine had 3/4 length sleeves and hers had some pleating in the skirt area while mine is more of a wrap style.
ReplyDeleteFor me whenever I see a woman wearing something similar to an item in my closet I get a sense of affirmation and acceptance.

That has happened to me a few times, too, Pat, and it is always a feel-good moment!
DeleteI agree. I get very jealous and envious of other women because i just want the freedom that they have and to wear heels whenever i want. I also love when my heels are clicking in sync with other women when I'm crossing the street or shopping in the mall....
ReplyDeleteEven though I have a very limited wardrobe, I saw a woman last week with a lovely figure wearing a dress I had just bought (online of course) and I thought wow! Well I’ll be, then I do have good taste in women’s clothes! There also followed a sigh wishing I had her figure to go with it..
ReplyDeleteWow! I'd never thought I would see you identify as a "sissy," reposting images with a Tumblr URL in them that is definitely NSFW.( http://starbasek.tumblr.com/ )
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have come a long way in embracing sexuality, Stana!
Two years ago I would have laughed, but now if I cannot wear anything feminine, I get a little cranky. Not all of my family cares to see me as Elle so I am limited to my underthings and jeans that are actually from the womans department. But loungewear is out of the question, now that I am home again I can be me and stress levels plummet. Nothing like home sweet home!
ReplyDeleteFor me it's a double-edged sword that usually balances my inner struggle. I think to myself "Mmm, those heels look delicious, yet painful". I also find that when I crossdress at home, I'm really constricted:
ReplyDelete* If I'm in heels, forget about going up and down stairs too many times
* Long nails, good luck typing without mis-typing every other word
* If it's summer, a wig will make you sweat in no time
I agree - I also find myself looking around at women in public, on the street or in the mall, and think, "They can walk around in skirts, hose and pumps - and DON'T. Yet I want to - and CAN'T." Something's not right here.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's you and yes, that's me and yes, we are not the only ones.
ReplyDeleteSo, why do we have to admit our womanhood?
I agree with Julie:"Something's not right here."
